Viewing Text on a TV

A TV is designed primarily to show moving images. The large dot pitch of a TV will yield poor quality static images. The small text sizes commonly used for PC desktops can appear blurred or unclear on a TV. You can compensate for this degradation by using larger fonts.

Using a TV as the Only Display

If you plan to move the computer to a place where you are using TV display only, make sure that you have the TV display feature enabled prior to disconnecting the monitor.

The maximum display resolution for TV is 1024×768. Choosing a resolution higher than this will cause the TV display to disappear if it is the only display device.

Using Games and Applications

Some older games and applications may instruct the graphics card to run under a specific display mode. This may cause the TV display to turn off automatically or become scrambled (the PC monitor or LCD display will not be affected). The TV display will be restored once you exit the game or if you restart the computer.

Connecting to a TV, VCR, or HDTV

You can connect the graphics card to a TV, HDTV, or VCR in several ways, depending on the inputs the TV supports. To ensure the highest quality graphics, choose the connection available that provides the best signal.

Connections supported, in descending order of quality:

•HDMI™ (available on HDTV only)

•DVI (available on HDTV only)

•Component

•Composite

•S-Video

Note: If the TV has cable input only, connect the graphics card to the TV through a VCR or an RF modulator, which is available from most electronics stores.

Note: Copy-protected DVDs restrict playback to 480i and 480p modes.
